Ta Da! Kitchen Cake!

Yesterday I received an email with the title “Ta-Da!” from my sister-in-law, Megan. Knowing how clever Megan is, I knew this would be something special… and it was!

Her email was of two photo she took of a recent gift that she put together for a friends bridal shower (as she saw on Pinterest). I decided that it was too cute not to share!

Below is the steps she used to create a “Kitchen Cake” of tea towels, kitchen utensils and more. Thanks for sharing Megan!

DIY: Kitchen Cake, via Megan Luce

1. The structure of the “cake” is from 3 ziploc storage units (that she registered for) held together with loops of tape. I was worried that doublestick tape would leave residue.

2. It’s decorated with Dish towels – I folded them to maximize the length then safety pinned them to keep them on. I wired each utensil to a safety pin attached to the dish towels. Most of the utensils needed to be wired on the towel at 2 points or more.

3. I tied the ribbon around the cake to cover the gaps between the dish towels and then safety pinned the flower to the front knot to make it prettier.

4. I tucked a dish towel over the top to hide the exposed plastic then safety pinned a dish towel “flower” in the middle, made by folding it and twisting wire around the bottom I hold the shape. I bracketed it by the two other flowers (also safety pinned) on to hide the 4 safety pins holding the dish towel flower.

5. Voila! It’ll be a pain to take apart but much cuter than individually wrapping a bunch of utensils. 😉 Took about 20-minutes!
